Ratbreed is known for its unique heavy metal sound, and ‘Under Fire’ is no exception. Produced and recorded by the band themselves, the mixing and mastering were taken care of by Juho Räihä (Swallow The Sun, Wolfheart, etc.) at Soundspiral Audio.

The band has also released a lyric video for ‘Under Fire,‘ which perfectly captures the intensity of the music and showcases the band’s lyrical prowess. The single cover art was created by Petri Lampela, and the band photo was taken by Mike Sirén. Ratbreed’s discography includes their debut album ‘Evoke The Blaze’ (2018), and several singles including ‘Gates Of Underworld’ (2018), ‘Hunting High, Reaping Low’ (2018), ‘Master Of Deception’ (2022), and their latest release ‘Under Fire’ (2023).

(novi single) Šiza objavili single i spot za ‘Ponašaj se tako i kad nitko ne gleda’!

Eksplozivni rock dvojac Šiza predstavlja novi singl „Ponašaj se tako i kad nitko ne gleda” koji, kao prvi u nizu, dolazi u službi najave novog albuma.

Šiza je u nešto više od dvije godine prisutnosti na sceni postigla zapaženi uspjeh okrunjen debut albumom „Pristojnost iz malog prsta izgubila se u srednjem”, a struka je pozitivne kritike dodatno manifestirala kroz nominacije za domaće i regionalne glazbene nagrade.

Novi singl „Ponašaj se tako i kad nitko ne gleda” potvrđuje vjernost beskompromisnoj lirici i žestokom zvuku, koji pleše između garažnog rocka i post punka, te najavljuje drugi studijski album, čije će konture Šiza dodatno predstaviti nadolazećim pjesmama.

Osim toga, Šiza predstavlja i Bokija, svog zebrastog prijatelja, koji je, kako sam kaže, njihov motivacijski govornik, svjetionik u tamnoj noći i zvijezda vodilja u neistraženom svemiru.

„Ako želiš da baka bude ponosna na tebe, ponašaj se kao da te gleda cijeli dan.” – poručuje Boki

Leonard Klaić i bend zajedno su odradili produkciju, dok snimanje, mix i master potpisuje Leonard Klaić samostalno. Dinko Šimac (Beyond Pines Films) i bend pobrinuli su se za režiju, Luka Bošnjak bio je zadužen za osvjetljenje, a tajanstveni Boki je za potrebe videospota pripremio arsenal opakih plesnih pokreta. Glazbu potpisuju Marko Kuhar i Bruno Antolić, dok je Bruno Antolić autor teksta.

Singl „Ponašaj se tako i kad nitko ne gleda” dostupan je putem YouTube kanala benda, na njihovom Bandcampu te na svim streaming servisima. YouTube Deezer Spotify iTunes Tidal

Šiza je izvođač Dostave Zvuka. facebook.com/band.siza instagram.com/siza_band sizzza.bandcamp.com

(review) Kuoleman Galleria – ‘Pedon synty’ (Inverse Records)

Finnish scene is thriving with great releases and Kuoleman Galleria just released their fourth full length opus with Inverse Records. This new opus contains nine songs. Music of this band can be described as black metal, but more into black n roll side of things. The lyrics are in Finnish so I don’t understand what is being sung about, but let the music do the talking. The title song reminded me a bit of Einherjer’s Dragons of the north era, in rhythm and tempo, also in vibe. Kolmas has that wicked guitar melody that is at the same time sad and melancholic but also aggressive song structure. Vocals vary from black metal screaming, but pretty understandable in emphasizing words, to spoken word and even horror movie like whispering at some times. I put some song titles into translator, so I am sure there is a lot of self irony, dark humor and sarcasm present in the lyrics like in some other Finnish bands, with Sentenced coming to mind immediately. although there is no likeness in music whatsoever. This is fine piece of black n roll music from the North and I love and enjoy every single second of it.
